Any (Writer can decide)

Your assignment in this short paper is to design a scientifically-informed intervention to change a specific behavior. Your paper can be written for an audience of policy makers, consumers, or marketers. Whichever audience you choose, you should a) identify a specific, consequential behavior; b) analyze why that behavior happens; c) identify the relevant environmental influences that affect the behavior; d) come up with one or more changes to the environment or choice architecture that will get people to act in the desired way; and e) describe how you would test the efficacy of such an intervention. Do not use examples from lectures.

 In designing your intervention, a) make sure that it could realistically be implemented by your target audience; and b) make sure that it preserves peoples freedom to act as they wish (e.g., banning something is not allowed!).

Your paper should be in Times New Roman 12-point font, single-spaced. You have a hard limit of three pages. Any text exceeding this limit will not be graded. (Dont feel obliged to use the whole three pages. Brevity is a virtue!) Citations do not count in the 3 pages. (2-3 sources preferred)
